The surgery gave back the life of 37 year-old Seena Shojan. "Though in ICU, Seena has recovered and is eating solid food, something she hasn't had for the last several months. But she will have to remain in the hospital for a couple of months," said Dr. Sudhindran S., Head, Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, AIMS, Kochi.
